Chapter 1549 [1548] The growth of the third room

More than ten minutes later, the father and son came to the door with four gifts, drinks, snacks, fruits, wheat, milk and essence.

Xiang Shengli has an extraordinary demeanor. Although he has the majesty of a superior, he does not have any grudges in his heart when facing this family who has taken care of his son for three Spring Festivals. After all, the eldest son has been gone for ten years. No matter how old he is,

The injuries and pain have also been smoothed over with time.

So he was very grateful to the Ding family for taking his son in and caring for him when he was homeless. If they hadn't been bad, how could he have been running here year after year?

So after handing the gift to Shengli, he actually pulled Xiang Feng and bowed deeply towards the Ding family.

"Thank you for the care you gave to this child when he needed warmth. My mother and I cared too little about him. Thank you to my eldest brother and younger siblings for your warm hospitality. The child's mother has an extreme personality, so I didn't let her

Come here, please forgive me."

Xiang Shengli is a few years older than Ding Zhenlong, so it's not wrong to call him big brother, but he didn't expect it to make Ding Zhenlong extremely nervous.

After all, he is also a leader, and he is a farmer. Even if he thinks that being a farmer is not embarrassing and does not reduce prices, in terms of social class, he is still inferior, and Ding Zhenlong has never seen people at the leadership level, so

Rubbing hands before shaking hands, smiling slightly nervously, these subtle movements and expressions are actually the image of an upright and honest farmer.

Xiang Shengli is not a person suitable for chatting. He doesn't have any unnecessary nonsense and goes straight to the topic.

"This child has a stubborn personality. To put it mildly, he is worried that we will feel uncomfortable if we know he is injured. To put it crudely, he is not afraid of his brother's jokes. His relationship with our family member has always been tense. Neither of them is convinced by the other.

, that’s it. I came to your house to celebrate the New Year on the first day of the new year last year, right? He and his mother had a quarrel. You said you are so old, but you still have the temper of a child. "

"This time her mother came to see me with her younger brother. When she found out that my son was not there, she became anxious. She hasn't been back for three years. After all, she is her biological mother. How can she not miss her? You said she was celebrating the Chinese New Year, and why would she give you such a gift?

Trouble, I feel bad about this, but we have already booked a place to stay in L city. It’s quick to drive there. We’ll stay one night and drive to the military area tomorrow. We’re pressed for time right now, so I’m sorry to trouble you again.

Already."

…

We talked a lot of polite words, but Xiang Feng never said anything. Finally, when he was about to leave, he reluctantly looked at his brothers and sisters.

As his good brother, Ding Jianshe also helped him pack his luggage and looked at Xiangfeng. He was always in a low mood and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Look at you, you are here to celebrate the New Year. You should be happy. Your parents came to pick you up in person. When will you not be able to come to our house? After the New Year, if you want to come, you can come again.

?”

"That's nice to say. When you all start school, who of you will I come to see?"

"Then my parents are not at home? They will definitely take care of you as their own son. If I didn't have the confidence to go to your house, I should really go and see you. You also know that your brother's matter,

If your mother knew, I'm afraid I would have to peel off my skin. Speaking of which, I'm very sorry for her, otherwise, I,"

"No, please don't. It's fine just like this. Don't think too much about it. After ten years, she will slowly come out. Why do our whole family let her go like this? We are not afraid that she will be stimulated, so you also

Don’t worry, I don’t want you to be nice to me, it’s just to repay my brother!”

With the help of Ding Jianshe and Ding Jianguo, Xiang Feng put on his military coat, buttoned it up, and put on his hat. Xiang Shengli caught his luggage after leaving the house. The Ding family members watched the father and son leave with their eyes reddening.

It wasn't that they didn't want to go there, but they wouldn't let her go. Maybe they were afraid that they would meet Mrs. Xiang and she might have to be polite for a long time, so they left so neatly.

After Xiang Feng left, the door to the house was closed again. Everyone walked into the main room and looked at the gifts placed on the table. No one was in a good mood.

"It's Chinese New Year, look what's going on here! Okay, nothing's going to happen, let's go to sleep. I hope nothing will happen again this year!"

Ding Wei comforted everyone not to take these things to heart, but she didn't know that after her parents saw Xiang's family, they directly extinguished the beauty they once thought.

Because Xiang Feng left, Ding Zhenlong simply went to sleep with his sons, while Zhao Qingqing and her two daughters slept in their own room.

The couple got up first before dawn on the first day of the new year. Zhao Qingqing said to Ding Zhenlong while preparing the incense offering.

"I said before that I asked Xiang Feng to be my son-in-law. It should be invalid from now on. It's not right that we are not the right family. It's my fault for being too whimsical in the past."

Ding Zhenlong was not surprised that Zhao Qingqing had this idea. In fact, he also thought of this last night.

"Is it because of her mother?"

Zhao Qingqing shook her head, "Not entirely, and he is a soldier. I don't want my daughter to find a soldier as her husband. Now that the three of them, father and son, have given in, if they get married in the future and there is a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will it be a problem?

Will my daughter be wronged? Thinking about it again, they are actually not suitable at all. He is eight years older than our daughter. Eight years,

Even if he can join the army, even if he doesn't live with his parents-in-law, will he find out about Xiang Yang sooner or later? This is a bomb that can detonate this family at any time. I will not let my daughter be wronged in their home because of this.

All my life, so, my thinking was too naive in the past, I only thought that this child was good, but I ignored his entire family."

Hearing this, Ding Zhenlong breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I didn't agree with it from the beginning. It's not that our daughter is not worthy, but that we can't let our daughter marry him behind the back of this favor. We owe the Xiang family, let's pay it back slowly."

That is, we can treat it as relatives.

, but you can’t marry your daughter to him. Our daughter has been able to do it since she was a child. It’s not easy to find a man who can suppress her. Since it’s not easy, then find a man who can suppress her. It’s okay to be a little coward, at least he can.

Take control and you won’t be wronged.”

Zhao Qingqing also nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's how it should be, but I'm afraid you don't know it yet. Your daughter has never planned to get married."

"Nonsense, she is only fifteen years old, I can't let her get married even if she wants to!"

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean, my daughter has told me more than once that she will not get married in the future. She said that getting married would be too tiring. She also said that she could live longer if she didn't get married. After getting married, her life would not be the same.

What I can control, but

She was controlled by her husband's family. How could she come to such a conclusion at such a young age? Did something happen in our village make her afraid of marriage, especially when a girl gives birth to a child? She said then

It’s like taking a trip through the gates of hell!”

Perhaps it was because this girl had had upright ideas since she was a child. The couple never felt that Ding Wei's words were beyond the maturity and calmness of her age.

Precisely because it was easy for the couple to raise a daughter and the daughter was capable, they believed that their daughter was right. If Ding Wei knew that her parents had been successfully brainwashed by her, she would not know whether to cry or be happy.

When you get up in the morning on the first day of the new year, you have to worship the Stove Lord, God, and ancestors, so offering incense is indispensable. Usually four plates are enough, which can be fried food or fruits. The Ding family placed eight plates before the couple bowed.

They set off firecrackers, lit incense burners and ingots, and even made a wish to God and ancestors with their eyes closed.

The couple didn't want their children to see this scene, so they finished it every time before they got up.

Ding Wei didn't want to get up to eat in the morning, and her mother couldn't afford it. She didn't like dumplings, and she didn't have the vanity to show off her children wearing new clothes, so even though Ding Xiang got out of bed excitedly, she told her that it was snowing outside.

, she pretended not to hear it, pulled up the quilt and continued to sleep.

Fortunately, the dumplings are eaten by whoever eats them, so there won't be any leftovers just because she didn't get up. There are so many boys in the house, even a few of them can be eaten.

Now that they are older, they don’t want any new year’s money, but their uncle and aunt insist on giving it. Naturally, their parents will also give it to their other unmarried children who have two or three bedrooms. The aunt is right. This is a custom and cannot be given to the children just because they are older.

It was waived.

Even though Ding Wei had not celebrated the New Year, Ding Xiang still brought her a ten cent red envelope. This is their family's custom. Every family gives New Year's money with this amount. Their family has many children and they are not married yet. The brothers are embarrassed.

If they wanted, the uncle and aunt gave it to them. Of course, all the money was given to Ding Xiang in the end, including Ding Wei.

Ding Xiang was very happy to get the new year's money, which was a total of 60 cents plus her own. Thinking of going to her grandma's house tomorrow on the second day of the Lunar New Year and getting the new year's money again, she grinned happily.

"You are serious. I want to sleep a little longer. You will come here and there, and then I won't sleep anymore. Is it going to snow anymore?"

"Bai was so happy. It snowed heavily for a while and then stopped. No wonder our mother said that the heavier the snowflakes, the less heavy the snowflakes are. It's true, but if it doesn't snow, you can't eat ice skates."

Children in this era like to look for ice skates everywhere to eat. Because they have not been polluted by industrialization and there are vegetation everywhere, the snow in the 1980s is still quite clean. The ice skates formed after melting are also beautiful and clear, making them a child.

They are their playthings, but there are also many incidents of ice skates hitting people. As a childhood memory, Ding Wei has naturally eaten it. It is ice cold and has a hint of sweetness. Even if she enjoys it in her mouth, it is not really good.

It doesn’t taste good.

After getting up, Ding Wei folded the quilt, put the pillow on the quilt, piled the three quilts near the window, and put a layer of sheets on top to cover them. Plastic sheets had been nailed on the outside of the windows. This was also done to

There is no air leakage in the winter, so once the kang in the house is heated, it is about 20 degrees Celsius, which is very warm.

This kang has been burning since the beginning of winter. There are piles of firewood in the front and back yards and in the corners outside the house. These are all collected by my parents before winter. There are corn stalks, sesame stalks, large branches and small branches, and corn.

Core, there are many, many leaves. In this era, cooking and firewood all rely on firewood. There are trees everywhere, and there are not as many people as there are in the future, so there is no end to the firewood. As long as you work hard, you will not starve or freeze.

According to the time point, the land reform of the 1980s will almost go through at the beginning of this year, and the production team will gradually withdraw from the stage of history between 1981 and 1994.

According to the number of people in their family's household registration, the mother, the third brother, the fourth brother, her and the younger sister can allocate at least five acres of land.

For her, five acres of land is enough. There are too many acres of land that her parents can't grow. After all, they still have to go to school and work. There are too few opportunities to help in the future, especially since her father still has a job, so she basically relies on her mother.

Five acres of land is really a lot of land to plant. The era of mechanization has not yet come. In the era of pure manual planting, it is not easy.

The eldest son of the second uncle's family, Ding Jianli, has a daughter-in-law who is more than eight months old and is about to give birth, so she has not been able to come back for the Chinese New Year. In fact, he has not come back for the Chinese New Year in the past few years. Although it is very close, less than an hour's drive away, he is very interested in it.

There seems to be little affection left at home. When a daughter-in-law is pregnant, her mother takes more care of her. Even if she is not a son-in-law, she has to be taken care of by her father-in-law, so naturally she cannot take care of her at home.

Besides, his younger brothers have all joined the workforce now. No matter how much their wages are, at least they have jobs. He doesn't compete for the family house. Naturally, the brothers can live their own lives. Without their parents, there is no need to notify the separation of the family.

The second oldest, Ding Jianxin, works in the winery, and the third oldest, Ding Jiancheng, works in the bearing factory. Although they are both temporary workers, with a salary of only eighteen yuan a month, and they still have rural registered permanent residence, the two of them are very satisfied with their current jobs.

He even found Ding Zhenlong's relationship and found someone to assemble a second-hand bicycle. It was at least 60% new and could be used for a few years. When he became a regular worker, it would not be too late to buy a new one because he was not a regular worker and he was not in the city.

With a registered permanent residence, he is not even qualified to live in the staff dormitory.

Ding Caisang is now four or five months pregnant. I don’t know if she will come back in the next few days, but her aunt said that she will come here during the holidays and her father’s death anniversary. She is considered sensible and at least better than Ding Cailian.

a lot of.

Of course, Ding Cailian also has a good reason. She used to go to school and now works. Maybe she is used to her not being at home all the time, and the two members of the Ding family do not have any expectations or requirements for her.

On the contrary, Cai Mulberry, who is close by, is even more praised by the elders in the family when she marries well and has a decent job.

Of the two sons of Sanfang, the eldest, Ding Jiandang, works as a cook in the health center. Now he has become a full-time cook. The first year of transition from apprentice to full-time job is 27.5 yuan, and it takes the fifth year of work to earn 32.5 yuan. The second son, Ding Jianjun, works in Ding Zhenlong's factory.

Here, the apprenticeship is now in its third year and will not become a full-time employee until next year.

Ding Lan won't go into details. He was admitted to Capital University. After graduation, he might be assigned to work in a high school or junior high school in the province. If he performed particularly well, he might stay at the school to teach.

Just because Wang Yuhuan gave birth to a promising daughter, the threshold of their family was almost crossed, but they were all matchmakers for Ding Lan. There were also two brothers, but few. Wang Yuhuan directly blocked the daughter's marriage, thinking that

Waiting for her daughter to finish her job in the future before discussing marriage. Finding a partner for her now would be tantamount to adding more obstacles. She knew this very well, so she was naturally smart enough not to accept the matchmaker's words.
